While the Q variant we got is on the shorter end of the stick, this V is actually has better specs compared to the indonesian V spec. Indo spec only gets analog gauges, no foglamps, no cruise control, and no captain seats(which if prefer and I know other prefer a bench seat).
I love it. I wish we got it in the Middle East. We will continue to get the old model: body on frame, rear wheel drive, four cylinder 2.7 liters with six speed automatic.
My only gripe with this kind of seating arrangement is that when we fold the 3rd row seat, the car is only a 4 seater, instead of the traditional 5. I usually fold the 3rd row because I carry a lot of groceries, water gallons, or sacks of rice. I have 2 children who occupy the 2nd row while wifey and I are in the front. The 5th passenger, either a yaya or a grandparent, will fit fine in our current MPV. Now with this new Zenix, the 5th passenger has nowhere to sit if the 3rd row is folded. Why do you do this, Toyota? Give us the 8-seater Zenix.
Kung for hauling ng mabibigat na gallons of water or sack of rice ang purpose, mas maganda na yung ladder-frame chassis na diesel Innova. Itong Zenix is unibody chassis and purpose is more of people carrier sa pavement road driving.
@kenneth5769 thanks. Water gallons at most are only 5 pieces. Sacks just 2 x 20kg. It's really not a huge load. Even my current gasoline BRV carries it effortlessly
The flacelifted Turbocharged 2024 Nissan Almera is launching here later in the afternoon. Variants are now trimmed down to 3 because the VE M/T from pre-facelift model has been discontinued from the lineup, meaning the only manual option will be the base EL variant.
i still go for diesel dahil mas mahaba ang buhay ng diesel engine compare sa gasoline.,front drive cvt talo ka sa akyatan sa mga matatarik na lugar. marami na akong nasubukan na fwd gapang pagong.,unibody pag nagkaroon ng damage tapon mo na o di kaya benta mo sa bote bakal.mas the besty pa rin ang diesel at rear wheel drive malakas at utilitarian.
Though the price of the Q variant is approx P300,000 higher than the V variant, in the long term, would it be more cost-effective to get the Q variant considering the high cost of fuel/gasoline?
Still better than a Fortuner, that's for sure. Ample space for all passengers, ample space for cargo, a height that's easy to get in and off for elderly people. Also the Zenix makes you look like a caring head of the family. 👍
Hi Reygan, Hope you can do a research on the engine of the Zenix V gasoline, how advance is it? Is this different from the former 2.0 liter gasoline of Innova which was recently phased out? How fuel efficient is the new Zenix V gas only? Thanks
@@telcobilly They will still sell the diesel rear-wheel drive Innova as the Zenix does not have diesel. Unfortunately, only the standard 4-speed automatics are cheap to replace. The newer ones with more gears are also expensive. The alternatives such as DCT and AMT/AGS are also expensive. I've been reading/hearing about cheaper CVTs especially for subcompacts, maybe because they're quite common now. But I still don't like the feel of CVT.
"Theoretically", with that large body frame and size, paired with that 172Hp/205 Nm 2.0 engine specs, this is a gas guzzler. Until someone test it and provide an actual FC, we can safely say that this is indeed a good buy. Other than that, "feature wise", this Zenix is a superb family vehicle. Another nice presentation, "Pare"! Keep rockin' 🤘
I recommend joining the Zenix Indonesia group to personally verify the actual fuel consumption reported by owners. You'll be amazed to find that the gasoline variant can easily achieve 18-23 km/L on the highway, while in mixed driving conditions, it performs at a similar level (or a little bit better) to the 2.8 diesel variant. It's worth noting that the Zenix's TNGA platform is 170 kg lighter than the 2nd generation Innova, contributing to its fuel efficiency.
the only thing i would like know is the size in the front seats large like the older 2008 innova v which i have because the 2017 newer innovas even the v type is a lot smaller leg room in the front seat area because im 6ft 3 100 kg lol!!
The V spec Zenix didnt have EV mode, which means its not a electrified vehicel. am i right? if its not a HEV car, i dun think its worth to get V spec in 1.6M, a normal innova is much more cost-effective.
contradicting your praise for toyota PH: "...just shows that Toyota PH thinks of everybody..." on the dual SRS airbag: "...at its price level of over P1.6M... we don't get that..." Imagine cutting away a safety feature just because price was cut by P300k? that's why i've never bought from Toyota PH. They love cutting features for the PH market. Compared to our Asian counterparts, at that price point...hmmm..
they should have made it an 8 seater configuration. how can it be utilized for long vacations when it only becomes a four seater car when the third rows are folded down? just feel masyado maingat un review dito.... baka magalit ba si toyota? not much negatives laid out during the review....hahaha
@@ji1ro0 ive seen the car up close. and andami negatives that were not even highlighted to give a fair review. here's one....the switch for the windows are so cheap in feel and look and not even illuminated for a 1.67M car.....that's just 1. there's more....
get a fortuner or tje other diesel Innova. then if you want an 7 or 8 seater. this is a niche market. I get why they did this while keeping the diesel variant. Its the perfect car for my mom and grandma who need a car to get in easily with captain seats. yes the price may seem steep to some but yet again, niche marker
I always ask why people buy base fortuner just to haul people around. I get the point but isn't it wiser to buy an MPV for that purpose? After all, you won't be taking your 4x2 on rugged terrains because t r a c t i o n issues
Innova is supposed to be an MPV for carrying loads and a big family, hence the diesel engine and the bench middle seat. This will be a gas guzzler, especially on long road trips under heavy load w fewer passers. No, thanks.
Zenix is not an Innova, very opposite. Less tourque from 300 to only 188, since it is just a gasoline and not turbo diesel. Not rear wheel drive, it's uni-body instead of body-on-frame, too much features which is only benefits noob drivers. Zenix is more of a Corrola Cross or Rav 4 that become 7 seater. May be they just use the name of innova to sell it. The downside is that they should use a double wishbone or multilink suspension on its rear to have more comportable ride, since this is just a uni-body.
It doesnt need the double wishbone because of the chassis. Plus, the torsion beam in this setup comes with balancer. So, its good enough during cornering and the body roll is not really evident. The comfort during bad roads however a little bit evident but if your roads are really that problematic, then its a bit lesser comfort than multilink or double wishbone counterparts
While the Q variant we got is on the shorter end of the stick, this V is actually has better specs compared to the indonesian V spec. Indo spec only gets analog gauges, no foglamps, no cruise control, and no captain seats(which if prefer and I know other prefer a bench seat).
I currently drive a 2013 1TR 2.0 AT Innova that only has 390 km full tank. This new 2.0 engine with CVT can give 700km in a full tank.
I love it. I wish we got it in the Middle East. We will continue to get the old model: body on frame, rear wheel drive, four cylinder 2.7 liters with six speed automatic.

They should have made it an option whether to get the captain's seats or a 3-seater bench on the second row!
For me this is a best car no complain

please provide fuel consumption of both variants.
It will make sense if they sell the 8 seater variant.
There is a 8 seater the hybrid variant po
@@joebertpaduelan1701 sure kba?
This car is underrated
Is it only me or does the rear taillights are very similar to Toyota Rush?
If Toyota values Pinoy talaga, they should know we want Zenix Diesel. Isa pa, hindi practical ang captain seats sa Pinoy family. Pare hehe
nice video!
The hybrid version of this Innova Zenix is more expensive than the Corolla Cross GR-S and Hybrid V variant?

Oo nga, ung fortuner ang sikip coming from innova car user. Kung maluwag sana ang fortuner gaya ng innova ay mabilis mag decide na bilihin
Plus, the wheels or rims are similar to the Corolla Altis Mid-variant I think, basta the non-hybrid variant of the Corolla Altis sedan.
Sa mga middle class filipino family wala na yang captain-captain seat. I hope toyota would make it like any other innova 7-8 seating capcity.
Great family car. Gasoline and unibody with an updated engine.
interesting if this will follow a similar path of the mitsubishi fuzion gas only mpv.
Innova Diesel continues selling in Toyota Motor Philippines despite launch of Innova Zenix
Hi Reygan,
Hope you can do a research on the engine of the Zenix V gasoline, how advance is it? Is this different from the former 2.0 liter gasoline of Innova which was recently phased out?
How fuel efficient is the new Zenix V gas only?
Thanks
Same engine in new RAV-4, Venza, and UX 200, etc.
This is a different 2.0 gas engine now. Dynamic force engine M20A at mas malakas kumpara sa lumang 1TRFE.
I'm not sold on cvt, very expensive to repair VS a regular automatic... Are they phasing out the rear drive Innova?
@@telcobilly They will still sell the diesel rear-wheel drive Innova as the Zenix does not have diesel. Unfortunately, only the standard 4-speed automatics are cheap to replace.

But this is lighter because of its unibody and FF layout.

Ano fuel economy nito? non hybrid
Just to add from your statement sir regan and some people are not ready for the future just yet
The V spec Zenix didnt have EV mode, which means its not a electrified vehicel. am i right? if its not a HEV car, i dun think its worth to get V spec in 1.6M, a normal innova is much more cost-effective.
This non-hybrid version has more features than the non-hybrid one in India .
4:24 17 inch alloy wheels Innova Zenix V

Mas okay sana to kung yung classic seats nalang, yung pwede 7-8 persons pang Pinoy talaga.
ginawa nalang sanang 8seater yung V
Will this Zenix Innova provide a diesel
they should have made it an 8 seater configuration. how can it be utilized for long vacations when it only becomes a four seater car when the third rows are folded down? just feel masyado maingat un review dito.... baka magalit ba si toyota? not much negatives laid out during the review....hahaha
I think one should utilized it like a van, the fifth guy should hop in and go straight to the back seat.
true, napakaconservative ng reviews ng mga pinoy car reviewers sa Zenix. Parang takot ibash si toyota lol
@@ji1ro0 ive seen the car up close. and andami negatives that were not even highlighted to give a fair review. here's one....the switch for the windows are so cheap in feel and look and not even illuminated for a 1.67M car.....that's just 1. there's more....
This is being marketed as a cheaper "Alphard" not a people hauler.

2015 toyota apple of my eye dati ..... in time it has change....
Oh well, even if people prefer the hybrid, Toyota told me today that waiting for that variant is at least one year.🙄🙄🙄
not a big fan of a captain seat. toyota shouldve made it bench seat on the second row.
pag hindi nag fail yan magaling ka
2.0 gas engine. Malakas po siguro to sa fuel consumption
If comparing with the Zenix Q Hybrid its a yes for me!😅
I always ask why people buy base fortuner just to haul people around. I get the point but isn't it wiser to buy an MPV for that purpose? After all, you won't be taking your 4x2 on rugged terrains because t r a c t i o n issues
It's the macho factor
Itutuloy yung Toyota Innova Diesel. Hindi Nila ititigil yung Diesel said Innova habang dumating yung bagong Innova Zenix sa Toyota Motors Philippines
Innova is supposed to be an MPV for carrying loads and a big family, hence the diesel engine and the bench middle seat. This will be a gas guzzler, especially on long road trips under heavy load w fewer passers. No, thanks.
Much better if the tires are bigger...
Ok, change plan, from honda BRV to this
Toyota can get away from selling vehicles without a steering wheel simply beacuse it is a Toyota

Lumiit ang makina pero ang Hood ay lumaki
This vs the Maxus G50 Premium, I'd definitely go with the Maxus over this overpriced Zenix anytime.
Fortuner na price
Crv is the best, not look pang caro
Idol Reygan, too expensive & lacking feature like sun roof. Its an insult to the phil
At almost the same price point, Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is way better by a mile. Oh well, this is a Toyota anyway
I dont like the shifter
First!
No thanks..
